Anyone know anything regarding Joey O'Brien at Bolton? Physioroom no longer list him as being injured though possibly they haven't any updated information for this upcoming season.

He could be a big player for us next season if he's fit.

He's been given the number 24 jersey at Bolton - http://www.bwfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page...068744,00.html
Also, Matthew Cassidy was given the number 36 jersey.
Don't think you can read too much into it, Anelka was given the number 39 jersey, and there's no number 1!

Jesus great to have Steven Reid back.I think he could be crucial for us in the remaining games.He's always capable of nicking a goal with a rasping shot.

Agreed, Dunne surely is good enough for a top 6 side, Ireland would slot in to most footballing sides, he's a class passer of the ball, would have had alot of assists if city had a striker who knew the location of the goal.

He was voted best right back in the Premiership in 2001-2002 in what was a fairly average Fulham side.

There are 3 polls which seem to be always quoted, this one, the Duff is the best Left Wing player in the world 2002 and of course Ronnie O'Brien as Man of the Year.

Maybe so, but Finnan was voted in by his fellow professionals to the PFA team, not a vandalised online poll

Using the same theory Gary Neville is better than him.
